1. Beets fight cancer
Beets contain high levels of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents that may help reduce the risk of some cancers. They get their striking red colour from betacyanin, a plant pigment that some preliminary research indicates might help defend cells against harmful carcinogens. Also, high levels of plant fiber found in beets may be linked to a lower colon cancer risk.
